5. NN ore car 1219. NCCC 900 appeared in the 1931 Car Builder’s Cyclopedia, and it was described as an 80-ton Ingoldsby-Enterprise side discharge ore car. Another photo of the same car in the same edition describes it as an “Ingoldsby type ore car”. No. 900 was built in 1926 by Magor Car Corp. The diagram of these cars specifies that they are for copper ore service. No. 1219 was built by Koppel Industrial Car & Equipment of Koppel PA (near Pittsburgh on the P&LE). Maybe that truck date of 1937 on car 1039 was when the car was built. Ely NV.
